Featured in this lot is this original, C.S. Fly photo of Otto Davis, taken at his Tombstone, Arizona Territory gallery in the late 1880s. Camillus “Buck” Sidney Fly (1849-1901), more commonly known simply as “CS Fly,” is most noted for his many photographs during Tombstone, Arizona's wild and wooly days. C. S. Fly was also a witness to the Gunfight at the O. K. Corral as his studio was next door. Fly captured many of the famous faces of the Old West and Indian Country including Wyatt and his brothers Virgil, Morgan and James, Doc Holliday, the McLaury brothers and Billy Clanton in their coffins after the Gunfight at the O. K. Corral, Apache Scouts, and Geronimo. He recognized the value of his photographs to illustrate periodicals of the day and took his camera to the scenes of important events where he recorded them and resold pictures to editors nationwide. This original photo shows a man by the name of Otto Davis, posing for a studio portrait in Fly's studio in Tombstone, Arizona Territory. He is wearing a tie and a button jacket and appears to have a watch on a chain. He looks to the right of the viewer (left of camera) and has a stern look on his face. The bottom of the photo is marked reading, "Otto Davis / Fly's Gallery, Tombstone, A.T.". It shows good condition overall with little to no wear present and no signs of damage. It measures 6 1/2" L x 4 1/4" W and weighs under 6 ounces. Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona
